What We Are Reading Today: Paths of Dissent

Authors: Andrew Bacevich and Daniel A. Sjursen

Paths of Dissent collects fifteen original essays from American veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan deployments who have come out in opposition to these conflicts.

These soldiers vividly describe both their motivations for serving and the disillusionment that made them speak out against the system.

Their testimony is crucial for understanding just how the world’s self-proclaimed greatest military power went so badly astray.
